Kinder, 1st and 6th Grade Art Exhibition: 

Thank you to all that attended our Opening Night Art Exhibition. This is our second year of highlighting high quality student art this way. We love the sense of community, the enthusiasm crew members have when showing off their own art and their friend's art. We are looking forward to more shows this year! 

 

6th Grade art is on display in the AMS hallways through Monday. Kinder and 1st grade art will be displayed in their wing through Monday as well. All art will be sent home on Tuesday! 

 

Thank you to Anne Moore for leading the way and helping motivate and inspire your students and our K-5 Art Lab Leader, Jenna Allen. We appreciate you both and all the work this takes!

TINY TOY WORKSHOP LIFE LESSONS from the mouths of Anser Students
 

“I learned that if I make a mistake, I can just make it into something else.”


“I learned to be creative with limited materials.”


“I learned to not care about what other people think.  I can make whatever I want.”


“We figured out how to take a bunch of little things and make something bigger.”


“I saw what other people made and was inspired.”  


“We can get a little hurt and keep going.”
